As expected, all NCAA tournament #1 seeds Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Kansas and Duke all breezed their way into the Third Round of competition easily dispatching their opponents in the Second Round.

As came to be known from the March Madness, there are some upsets as well with lower seeds beating their higher counterparts as the case with #12 Richmond beating the #5 Vanderbilt and #13 Morehead State beating #4 Louisville.

Now that the Third Round has begun on March 19, it’s time to update the original 2011 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament  bracket.

Check out the NCAA bracket 2011 update and see which of your team is still in the heat of the battle and which already bowed down as they battle it out for supremacy over the right to be called the NCAA champions.
